Decoding Noam Chomsky's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein

This is not a story about crimes. There is no evidence linking Noam Chomsky to Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual offences. That boundary should not be blurred. But this is very much a story about power, judgement, and proximity. About how elite worlds function. About how influence circulates. And about how even those who devote their lives to critiquing systems of domination can misread them when they arrive dressed as conversation.
